Where are press pit bulls when it comes to investigating possible government corruption in high places? Why is there so little interest in the tragic death of a government agent? Where are the fervent calls from the “mainstream media” for a special prosecutor to fully investigate Operation Fast and Furious?

What did U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder (and President Barack Obama) know, and when did he (or they) know it? The Register headline passing this off as partisan politics seems typical of most media. Circumstances surrounding the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry call for a thorough investigation and, since the attorney general seems to be the prime “stonewaller,” a special investigator independent of the Department of Justice should be appointed immediately.
